SWFs - BHVRs Lies, damned lies, and statistics due to the "persuasive power of numbers"
Multiple People- Will there be any QOL changes for solo players?
"Yeah, kinda?" (Patrick)
The performance of SWF groups isn't that much higher than solo survivors when looking at stats, despite how it may feel. It's a concern, but not enough to be panicking. WIth the upcoming changes to matchmaking (moving to an MMR rating), it will be able to show a performance increase with SWF groups and change matchmaking ratings accordingly. They'll also be able to change matchmaking depending on your group, for a more balanced match. It's not directly targeted towards SWF vs Solo, but it will have that effect. (Patrick)
Could this answer be misleading...
"isn't that much", "looking at stats", "how it may feel", "concern, but not enough to be panicking"
and vague...
"it will be able to show a performance increase with SWF groups and change matchmaking ratings accordingly. They'll also be able to change matchmaking depending on your group, for a more balanced match. It's not directly targeted towards SWF vs Solo, but it will have that effect."
Obviously Patrick plays a chilled SWF as the killer Clown but gets a draw with two one hooks so a draw with a de-pip.
Theres a reason why BHVR want to hide information and it's to manage those statistics rather than show end game SWFs or rankings.

I don't think people blame other players for playing with their friends, or even for using discord.
I think people blame BHVR for not balancing perks with SWF w/ voice chat in mind.
I had a post and video of survivors who at end game were convincing themselves they had not used comms to gain an advantage.
Yet, remove the silence and initial early game chat and they were calling things out that no solo survivor would ever be able to know.
One moment had the survivor shocked when the killer downed a survivor whilst being healed by them as nobody had called it out.
@Halun a perfect reply to an overused response.
